The Global Campus Visual Contest is open to all, professional and amateur, regardless of age, sex or nationality.

This theme wants to challenge the frequently negative image of LGBTIQ+ persons in the media and to encourage the elimination of the stigma, prejudice and discrimination that are still associated with what is perceived as non-conformity to rigid sexual and gender norms as well as cultural and social constructs of feminine and masculine.

For these reasons the GCVC 2018 invite photographers, both amateur and professional, to submit their works depicting the daily life of LGBTIQ+ persons, at school or in a working environment, deconstructing stereotypes and creating a positive narrative.

The entry period is from the 3 September to the 1 of December 2018 at 12 PM.

All entrants must download the free Instagram mobile application and follow the official Global Campus Visual Contest account: @gchumanrights;

All entries must tag @gchumanrights and use the hashtags #StandUp4LGBTQRights and #GlobalCampusVisualContest by Saturday, December 1 at 12 pm;
